Description

SB 57 is one piece of a legislative package that constitutes a major assault on New Mexico’s regulatory process. Heavily lobbied by corporate special interests, SB 57 establishes a task force to review the regulatory structure of New Mexico. However, the composition of the task force – as well as the work the task force would conduct – is skewed towards big industry, instead of the public interests that our regulatory process is designed to protect.

Outcome

Defeated in the Senate.
